"Either way is fine, I can--ow!" And the reply is cut short when his attacking blade suddenly becomes too hot to hold and he's forced to drop it. The blade itself is primarily metal, so there's nowhere at all to hold it that isn't sharp.
But that's part of the reason he carries two blades. He's not totally unarmed if he loses one. The second one isn't as sharp, but it still does the job, and he transfers it to the bladeless hand.
However, that action takes a few seconds he can't devote to avoiding the blow from the fire on Chandra's arm, and he takes that blow square in the chest, staggering back before collapsing to the deck.
...And then trying to push himself right back up, though he only gets onto his hands and knees before having to pause.
XD Yup -- also let me know if I messed up anything here
